I sat overcome in a mixture of joy and sadness, trying to make this moment last forever. She must have sensed my thoughts for she leaned over and placed her head on my shoulder and said, "Don't try to make things stay as they are. Life is a process that changes constantly. You've heard the old saying, ‘Life is not the candle nor the flame. It's the burning.' Of necessity, this moment will pass, but there will be new moments, perhaps, more glorious ones."
"Do we meet like this often?" I asked, not knowing quite what to say.
"Not exactly like this. But we do meet. You'll remember this meeting for a long time. The other meetings are just like dreams to you, but no less valid. Those you may not remember and, if you do, they are very faint and somewhat vague. This meeting was arranged so you could see and experience how reality is different in different states of consciousness. And naturally, I wanted you to know that I've never abandoned you, I've never left you. I am always around when you need me."
My emotions crested as I blurted out, "Why did you leave me and the children so soon? When you died, our entire world came to a grinding halt. They were so young. You were so young. You suffered so much. I was hoping that we'd grow old together. Then you left and it's never been the same since."
"I was wondering when you'd get around to that. It wasn't that anyone was picking on you and the kids,John," she answered. "It was all a part of the grand plan that we agreed upon long before we were born. My work on Earth was finished. I had to leave so that you could fulfill your mission. My suffering taught you compassion in a way that you'd never forget. Whether you realize it or not, I'm still a help to you now. I can do lots more from where I am. There's a wonderful pattern in all of this. But sometimes patterns don't make much sense while they're being woven. Our emotions can cloud our perception and understanding. Eventually, you'll see the beauty of the whole thing. Don't analyze everything so much. Some experiences like joy, peace, love, faith and hope do not lend themselves easily to analysis. It's enough to know that we do not, cannot die. We are bound by ties that stretch from eternity to the shores of forever."
